Hyderabad: MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi reportedly received a threat from the Islamic State (IS) on a social networking site for speaking against the terror outfit, but the Hyderabad MP trashed it saying he would not be cowed down by it.

It was reportedly written on Owaisi's Twitter Wall that "it's better for you to shut your mouth on Islamic State if you don't know the truth, Islamic State will invade India soon."

However, the tweet has since been deleted. "If someone tells us on Twitter that we will invade India...We will give an answer to it. India is our motherland and we will give a reply to such nonsense," Owaisi told reporters here today.

He said the IS had nothing to do with Islam as it indulges in violence, including against Muslims.
